Chinese Export Porcelain Double Peacock Soup Tureen, Cover and Stand, Circa 1765 This Chinese export famille rose soup tureen, cover and stand is painted with the celebrated “Double Peacock” pattern, one of the most distinguished designs produced for the European market in the Qianlong period. The oval stand, its shaped rim scalloped in gentle lobes, and the oval tureen, its swelling bombé sides rising from a spreading molded foot, are decorated en suite with a pair of peacocks perched upon pierced garden rockwork amid flowering peonies, chrysanthemums and leafy branches. The birds are finely rendered, their plumage worked in rich tones of green, blue, ochre and iron-red, the long tail feathers sweeping across the white ground, while a profusion of blossoms in deep rose-pink, coral and soft green fills the surrounding field. The low domed cover repeats the floral decoration and is surmounted by a boldly modeled pomegranate knop in iron-red and gilt, and the sides of the tureen are flanked by a pair of hare’s-head handles, also in iron-red with gilt spotting. A spearhead border frames the central composition of the stand and runs around the foot of the tureen, while the rims are banded with a running gilt trellis on an iron-red ground, interrupted at intervals by reserved panels of underglaze blue scrolling ornament that lend depth and vivacity to the palette.

Condition Good antique condition throughout, the vibrant famille rose enamels, underglaze blue borders and extensive gilt highlights remaining remarkably bright, crisp and well preserved across all three components. Historical Context The “Double Peacock” pattern, the Serviço dos Pavões of Portuguese and Brazilian collectors, is among the most celebrated of all Chinese export famille rose designs. It was produced in great quantity for the open market, an estimated twenty thousand pieces between about 1750 and 1795, and has always been particularly prized in Portugal, Brazil and England; the Brazilian authority José de Almeida Santos, in his Manual do Colecionador Brasileiro (1950), ranked it the finest of the famille rose services made to European commission and singled out the drawing of the birds. Much of its renown rests on a royal association. The Portuguese royal house owned a service of the design, and when the French invasion of November 1807 drove the Braganza court into exile, the Prince Regent Dom João, King João VI from 1816, sailed for Brazil with his mother, Queen Maria I, and the court, carrying his Chinese porcelain services...

A very nicely made 18th century Kangxi tureen. Redecorated in Europe. Old inventory number at the base. There was a small yellow sticker at the lid, which is removed now. We take a look at Amsterdams Bont porcelain from China. A relatively unknown niche of Chinese porcelain from ca 1680-1740 that was partly decorated in Europe. Because mainstream Chinese collectors have yet to discover the historical significance of these wares they are relatively easy to find in Holland. While also being highly interesting and of often super quality and with an amazing array of decorations. Amsterdams Bont is a name given to porcelain partly decorated in the Netherlands (most likely in cities like Delft, Haarlem, Makkum). Because Amsterdam was at this moment in time the trade centre of the western world and also of the porcelain trade a lot of this over enamelling was probably commissioned by Amsterdam merchants, to reap higher profits on otherwise boring Chinese wares. The name Amsterdam Bont probably derives from the fact that these type of decorated ware was sold by Amsterdam Merchants. Amsterdam Bont consists of either blanc or under glaze blue decorated Chinese porcelain of basic quality, that was later enhanced with red and sometimes other colours in the Netherlands. It must not be mistaken for other type of Chinese & Japanese blanc wares decorated in Europe. Those we simply call European Decorated Chinese porcelain. Amsterdam Bont really is easily recognisable by its colour and style. An interesting side note is that a similar process of overdecorating with red was done in London in more or less the same colours. Method of manufacturing. This enhancemend was done on “petit feux” or small fire at a lower temperature. This technique of baking enamels on a lower temperature that was perfected in the Delft around 1670-1680 to compete with the colourfull Japanese porcelain of the time. At the turn of the 17th c Chinese porcelain...
